NL Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?
Phil Ivey has been branded as the greatest poker player on the globe by quite a few of the top-ranked pros. Phil Ivey was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to NJ before his first birthday. His grandpa showed him to penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, Phil was addicted to poker and wished to learn everything he could about poker. He routinely told his grandparents that he was going to be a professional poker player. He did not permit the detrimental feedback from other people kill his goal of becoming one of the greatest poker competitors in the world.
Phil began competing seriously after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his skills at the poker rooms of Atlantic City. The initial number of years for him were a teaching experience and coming away with a win was not a regular outcome at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he achieved two final tables and won his first WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the final table he destroyed a number of the better known pros which includes "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
He decided to take his skills to the successive level and moved out west to Sin City. Phil continues to play in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players on the planet. Ivey credits his achievements to hard work and an immeasurable love for poker. Phil says that he’s picking up skills every single day and is very humble about his accomplishments. He knows he makes mistakes in each game of poker and constantly strives to get better.
Even though Phil has won some big-time tournaments, he favors destroying money games on a regular basis.
